Convenience Stores in Massachusetts

This 25-year-old gas and repair station got a makeover three years ago and now has a well-stocked convenience store, a free air pump and an ATM. In addition to eight self-service gas pumps, customers will also find soda, candy, chips, water, juice, scratch tickets, cigarettes, ice cream, newspapers, oil, anti-freeze and more. The attached repair shop does state inspections and also sells tires.

This has been a neighborhood smoke shop for nearly half a century. Today, Union Square Smoke Shop provides tobacco products, convenience store items and lottery tickets. Up front you'll find a cigarette rolling machine--purchase one of the store's tobacco blends (they'll provide you with the tubes and filters), and in eight minutes, you'll have yourself a carton's worth of cigarettes. In the back of the store, bright red modern chairs surround TV screens rolling Keno numbers or the Daily Race Game. If none of those amenities suit your fancy, stop in for a quick snack, soda or greeting card.  

Franklin International Beauty Store offers a wide selection of hair extensions, wigs, body creams and other beauty products. Brand names include Zuri, Beverly Johnson, Hair Topic, Encore and much more. A small selection of DVDs is also available for purchase.
